7 Twitter Prompts That Grew My AI Audience Jaideep Parashar ・ Aug 16 #ai #automation #openai #learning  ( 5 min )

When I first started posting about AI, my Twitter (X) account wasn’t growing much. Then I started using structured prompts to create tweets that were clear, valuable, and shareable. Today, I’m sharing them so you can use them too. 1️⃣ The “One-Liner Wisdom” Prompt “Write a tweet under 220 characters that shares a sharp insight about [topic]. Make it bold, thought-provoking, and save-worthy.” Example: 2️⃣ The “Mini-Thread” Prompt “Create a 5-tweet thread explaining [concept] in plain English. Each tweet should add value, and the first should be a strong hook.” This format built authority fast — perfect for breaking down technical AI ideas for non-tech readers. 3️⃣ The “AI Tool Drop” Prompt “Suggest a tweet that lists 3 underrated AI tools for [audience type], with 1-line benefits each.

There's a harsh reality facing development teams in 2024: according to recent studies, 90% of all IT projects are delivered late due to manual testing. Yet despite this staggering statistic, the majority of businesses still do little to no functional test automation. This creates what we might call the "testing paradox"—teams know manual testing is slowing them down, but they continue to rely on it anyway. Meanwhile, the costs are mounting in ways that extend far beyond delayed deliveries. 48% of respondents in the latest State of Quality Report identified lack of time as the top challenge in achieving software quality goals. But here's what's really happening behind those numbers: The average development team wastes 14 to 16 hours every week wrangling internal tools, setting up environmen…  ( 8 min )

When building interactive web applications, managing event listeners efficiently is crucial. Adding event listeners to every element individually can hurt performance—especially if the DOM has hundreds or thousands of elements. That’s where Event Delegation in JavaScript comes to the rescue. In this blog, we’ll cover: 🔎 What is Event Delegation in JavaScript? Event Delegation is a JavaScript technique that leverages event bubbling to handle events more efficiently. Instead of attaching event listeners to multiple child elements, you attach a single event listener to a parent element. The parent listens for events bubbling up from its children and handles them appropriately. ⚡ How Event Delegation Works Event Bubbling – When an event occurs (like click), it bubbles up from the target eleme…  ( 7 min )

.NET 9 has been out for almost a year now, but most developers are still using it like .NET 8. The real gains aren't in the headline features. They're in the overlooked improvements that solve daily friction. SearchValues for Strings private static readonly SearchValues BadWords = SearchValues.Create(["spam", "scam"], StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase); public static bool ContainsSuspiciousContent(string message) => message.AsSpan().ContainsAny(BadWords); Task.WhenEach for Async Processing var tasks = urls.Select(url => httpClient.GetStringAsync(url)); await foreach (var task in Task.WhenEach(tasks)) { var result = await task; ProcessImmediately(result); } UnsafeAccessor with Generics [UnsafeAccessor(UnsafeAccessorKind.Field, Name = "_value")] public etern static ref T GetPrivateField(Cache cache); // In tests: direct access without reflection overhead ref var field = ref GetPrivateField(cache); Frozen Collections for Performance private static readonly FrozenSet ValidEtensions = new[] { ".jpg", ".png", ".pdf" }.ToFrozenSet(); public static bool IsValidFile(string filename) => ValidEtensions.Contains(Path.GetEtension(filename)); DATAS Garbage Collection These features solve specific performance and productivity pain points that add up over time. Multi-string search becomes efficient. Async coordination gets simpler. Testing private members becomes fast. Collection lookups get faster. Memory management becomes smarter. Most teams ship .NET 9 apps that perform like .NET 6 because they stick to old patterns. The developers using these features are already building faster systems while others struggle with familiar bottlenecks. I've been running .NET 9 in production for months now, and honestly, I can't go back. When I see 20-30% faster response times and better memory usage, sticking with older versions feels like driving with the parking brake on. The performance gains aren't just nice to have anymore, they're real money left on the table."  ( 6 min )

Learning SQL Data Types & Operators Today marks Day 17 of my Data Analytics learning journey, and I explored one of the most important topics in SQL – Data Types and Operators. These are the foundation for writing queries correctly and performing meaningful operations on data. To practice, I also created a Hospital database using different data types and applied SQL operators to perform calculations and comparisons. In SQL, every column in a table must have a data type. Data types tell the database what kind of values can be stored in a column (numbers, text, dates, etc.). Here are the main categories of SQL data types: Numeric Data Types INT → Whole numbers (e.g., 10, -5, 1000) DECIMAL(p,s) → Fixed precision decimal values (e.g., 123.45) FLOAT / REAL → Approximate decimal values (e.g.…  ( 7 min )

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF, pronounced "sea-surf") is a sneaky and dangerous web vulnerability. Classified as CWE-352 by MITRE, it allows attackers to trick authenticated users into unknowingly submitting malicious requests to a web application. Imagine being logged into your bank account and clicking a seemingly harmless link that secretly instructs your browser to transfer funds to an attacker – that's CSRF in action. Why CSRF is Dangerous (CWE-352): Exploits Trust: The target site trusts the user's browser because it sends valid session cookies automatically with every request. User Unawareness: The victim executes the malicious action entirely unknowingly, often with a single click. Impact: Can lead to account takeover (changing email/password), unauthorized fund transfers,…  ( 7 min )

Introduction As software projects grow, so do their repositories. Large binary files, extensive histories, and sprawling codebases can turn simple Git operations into time-consuming ordeals. Cloning a repository shouldn't feel like downloading the entire internet, and checking out a branch shouldn't require a coffee break. Git Large File Storage (LFS) and sparse-checkout are two powerful features designed to solve these exact problems. Git LFS efficiently manages large binary files by storing them outside your repository, while sparse-checkout allows you to work with only the parts of a repository you need. Together, they transform unwieldy repositories into manageable, efficient development environments. This guide will show you how to implement both solutions, optimize your workflow fo…  ( 13 min )

If you’re curious about how AI systems like Claude or ChatGPT connect to external tools and data sources—and why MCP matters—this blog is for you. We’ll break it down in simple terms. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It’s an open-source standard released by Anthropic in November 2024. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI. Just as USB-C lets you connect different devices to your computer with the same cable, MCP lets AI systems connect with different tools, databases, or apps through one common protocol. No more custom connectors: Previously, developers had to build a separate integration for every AI-tool pair. MCP eliminates that need by providing a standard interface. Avoids “MxN problem”: With many AI models (M) and many tools (N), the combinations grow exponentially. MCP stream…  ( 7 min )

Vibe coding has quickly shifted from an insider buzzword to a mainstream method shaping how software gets built. At its core, this practice lets programmers and analysts describe what they want in plain language, then rely on powerful AI to do the heavy lifting—turning ideas into working code in a fraction of the usual time. The appeal is simple: speed, creativity, and a lower barrier to entry for those who aren’t expert coders. This trend isn’t just about making coding easier. It’s about changing the coder’s role from line-by-line writer to idea architect and quality czar. AI now shoulders much of the grunt work, freeing professionals to focus on high-level structure, design, and ensuring quality. Businesses like startups and enterprise teams embrace vibe coding for fast prototyping and c…  ( 15 min )

Is your Java app struggling? Are users complaining about slow responses or frozen screens? You might be facing a silent killer hiding in plain sight: a common thread pool mistake. We've all been there. You've built a fantastic Java application, it's robust, it's feature-rich, but then you launch it, and… it's sluggish. It chokes under pressure. The server looks fine, memory isn't maxed out, but the performance just isn't there. What if I told you the culprit often isn't your brilliant algorithms or fancy new libraries, but something as fundamental as how your application handles concurrent tasks? Specifically, how you set up your thread pools. Think of a thread pool like a team of workers ready to tackle tasks. Instead of hiring a new worker (creating a new thread) for every single job tha…  ( 9 min )

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is reportedly landing on November 14th this year, hitting virtually every major platform—from PS4 and Xbox One to the latest consoles—though Switch 2 owners might have to wait a bit longer. Thanks to Microsoft’s pact with Nintendo, a Switch port seems inevitable, it’s just a matter of timing. In other gaming news, long-time Solid Snake voice actor David Hayter finally played Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain—a game he missed out on back in 2015 when Keifer Sutherland took over—and he thinks it’s “amazing.” Plus, a quick look at how all your Borderlands 4 Vault Hunters can team up to take down the next big boss.

Now he’s a monster-slaying warrior-poet: tough as nails but always ready with a war story or sage advice for his fellow Vault Hunters. Watch on YouTube  ( 5 min )

Imagine the last time you used an app or visited a website—maybe you ordered food online, scrolled through social media, or checked your bank account balance. Have you ever wondered how that software was built? The challenge? For beginners, the sheer number of options can feel like an endless maze. I recently came across this brilliant mind map (below) that cuts through the noise and makes web development simple. It clearly breaks the field into two main pillars—Front End and Back End—and organizes the key languages, frameworks, and tools you’ll encounter. If you’ve been unsure where to start, this visual guide—paired with step-by-step resources from roadmap.sh—can be the map that leads you from zero to confident web developer.

Introduction There is a proverb: “After victory, tighten your helmet strap.” When people get an early sense that something is working, they tend to want to push forward. But that very feeling of momentum can distort judgment and become the trigger for overlooking the next pitfall. The sense of “it’s going well” is an important signal that can indicate success, yet at the same time it can become a trap. When something seems to be going well, the brain shortcuts to “this approach is correct” (overconfidence bias) and selectively filters for information that fits its expectations (confirmation bias). As a result, people skip re-examining assumptions and fail to recheck risks, scaling up based on a skewed view—small oversights can cascade into catastrophic defeat. In Japan’s Sengoku period,…  ( 7 min )

The Grand Illusion of "Future-Proof" Code Ah, the siren song of scalability. It whispers sweet nothings into our ears: "Build it right the first time," "You’ll thank yourself later," "What if you get 10 million users tomorrow?" And before you know it, you’ve spent three months architecting a dazzling microservices masterpiece, only to realize your "scalable" app has exactly one user: you, refreshing the page in incognito mode. This was me. I was that developer. Convinced that my side project needed a Kubernetes cluster, a distributed notification system, and a payment service that could handle Stripe-level traffic, despite the fact that my MVP was still just a glorified to-do list. The Hard Truth: Scale Doesn’t Matter If Nobody Cares Here’s the uncomfortable reality: You cannot optimiz…  ( 6 min )

10 Open-Source AI Projects You Can Clone and Use Today Artificial Intelligence (AI) used to feel like some sci-fi magic only tech giants could pull off, right?

Quality issues rarely start with a major failure. It’s usually a series of small events—a test that fails, a late shipment due to a recheck, or a batch flagged for retesting. On their own, these seem minor. But over time, they cost time, money, and customer trust. This post shows how to use the data you already collect in Business Central to uncover patterns, take action, and improve quality using tools like Excel and Power BI. Business Central can collect a lot of test-related data—from pass/fail grades and timestamps to supplier info and field values. But most teams review one record at a time or pull reports without clear trends. As a result, it’s hard to answer questions like: Why does a specific test fail repeatedly? Is one supplier more prone to quality issues? Do quality failures …  ( 6 min )

Large Language Models are powerful, but they're also resource-intensive. Every query, no matter how simple, consumes expensive computational cycles. I realized a huge chunk of my server costs was from the LLM repeatedly answering "hello," "thanks," and "ok." These queries are a waste. They don't teach the model anything new. They don't require complex reasoning. They are pure resource drain. My first thought was to filter them out on the client-side. But that creates a manual chore—I'd have to constantly update the list of simple phrases. That approach doesn't scale. So, I flipped the problem on its head. What if the LLM could solve this problem itself? The core idea is this: I created a system where the LLM itself decides which queries are too simple for its attention and teaches a client…  ( 6 min )

Malware, vulnerabilities, and a spice of AI deepfake are what we're going to review this week. Welcome everyone, how are you preparing for the weekend? Let me know in the comments section. Here’s how deepfake vishing attacks work, and why they can be hard to detect In a situation where the other party on the call with you is urging you to act, stay calm, it might be a vishing attack. And by the way, here is a funny Instagram Reel that shows how you can fall victim to vishing.

Securing Your Code Like You Secure a Storefront: Lessons from Iron Bollards You ever walk past a row of iron bollards and think, “Huh… these things are just standing there, but they’re actually protecting everything behind them”? I had that moment last week while grabbing coffee downtown. And oddly enough, it got me thinking about code security. A few years ago, I pushed a “quick fix” into production without testing it thoroughly. Yeah, I know—rookie move. It worked fine for a couple of hours… until it didn’t. That’s when I realized the value of strong, visible defenses. In real life, you might have iron bollards installations Chicago to keep reckless cars from smashing into a storefront. In code, those defenses are your validation layers, access controls, and security reviews. Bollards …  ( 6 min )

Understanding YAML's Critical Role in DevOps Automation and Infrastructure as Code In the ever-evolving landscape of DevOps, one technology has become the universal language for configuration management, automation, and infrastructure as code: YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language). From Kubernetes manifests to GitHub Actions workflows, from Ansible playbooks to Docker Compose files, YAML has emerged as the de facto standard for defining infrastructure, configurations, and automation pipelines. This article explores why YAML has become indispensable in modern DevOps practices and how it's shaping the way we build, deploy, and manage applications in the cloud-native era. YAML is a human-readable data serialization format designed to be simple and expressive. Unlike JSON or XML, YAML emphasizes r…  ( 10 min )

Security has become a buzzword; every company wants to claim its product or service is secure. But is it? Before we start discussing the different security principles, it is vital to know the adversary against whom we are protecting our assets. Are you trying to stop a toddler from accessing your laptop? Or are you trying to protect a laptop that contains technical designs worth millions of dollars? Using the exact protection mechanisms against toddlers and industrial espionage actors would be ludicrous. Consequently, knowing our adversary is a must so we can learn about their attacks and start implementing appropriate security controls. Before we can describe something as secure, we need to consider better what makes up security. When you want to judge the security of a system, you need t…  ( 14 min )

Imagine you are living in a small, lovely house. One day, you notice that your roof has many small holes. If not treated, these small holes can cause significant problems. During rain, water can come through these leaks and damage your furniture. Dust particles and insects can enter the house through these tiny holes. These small holes are a weakness in your home that can lead to significant problems in the future if not addressed timely. These weaknesses are known as Vulnerabilities. You start repairing the roof to fix this problem and keep your home safe. This process of fixing the vulnerabilities is known as Patching.

If an attacker successfully bypasses a firewall via a legitimate-looking connection and then performs any malicious activities inside the network, there should be something to detect it timely. For this purpose, we have a security solution inside the network. This solution is known as an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Think of an example of a building’s security. A firewall acts as the gatekeeper, checking the people coming in and going out. There is always a chance that some bad actor will successfully sneak inside and start performing malicious activities. He was missed at the gate, but what if we catch him even after he gets in? This can be done by the surveillance cameras present throughout the building. The IDS plays the role of surveillance cameras. It sits in a corner, monitors t…  ( 11 min )

Software supply chains have become a focal point for attackers, as modern applications rely heavily on third-party and open-source dependencies.

I’ve been using AI daily for creative and strategic work for years. But after a recent update changed the behavior of my primary assistant — despite the same prompts — I realized something: personal nuance doesn’t survive at scale. Large AI systems must follow global rules, minimize risk, and standardize outputs. That’s fair. But it also means they can’t preserve the subtle, evolving rhythm of a one-on-one collaboration. So I’m stepping back. I’m not launching a product. This week, I began Week 1 of building Kai Lite — the mobile layer of a three-part architecture I’ve been planning. My goal is continuity, not complexity. I want a single coherent experience across devices — each layer handling only what it needs to. | LAYER | PURPOSE | LLM …  ( 8 min )

What is system design? System design is the process of defining the elements of a system, as well as their interactions and relationships, in order to satisfy a set of specified requirements. It involves taking a problem statement, breaking it down into smaller components and designing each component to work together effectively to achieve the overall goal of the system. What does this mean? System design is that planning stage in software engineering where you design the flow, patterns, architecture of how the system you're trying to build becomes functional and efficient, taking better steps to build a better system. So you're asked to build an authentication system and yeah, you probably already know how to build one but those that actually satisfy the requirement of the project? This is the very big question to ask as a software engineer designing a system. It starts from as little as the language, framework to use. This is a very important question and I'll be going through a few steps as to how you can approach it and build a better system Understand the problem: Identify the scope of the system: Create a high-level design: Continuously monitor and improve the system: continuously. This is just an introduction to my series on system design. I will be dropping some system design concepts in the next one.  ( 6 min )

Image formats like PNG and JPG are classified as raster formats. These formats are made of a matrix of pixels. The problem with these images is that they don't upscale well — in other words, if you make the image larger, its definition will decrease. An SVG is a different kind of image. It is a Scalable Vector Graphic (SVG) and it uses equations to plot the image. In that way, the definition of the image won't change when we change its scale. We can use SVG images in HTML with the tag . Example: <path d="M35 65 Q50 80 65 65" s…  ( 6 min )

React is designed to protect against Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks by automatically escaping HTML content. However, there are cases where you need to render raw HTML, such as when working with rich text from a CMS or third-party API. React provides dangerouslySetInnerHTML for this purpose—but as the name suggests, it must be used with caution. In this article, we’ll explore best practices for using dangerouslySetInnerHTML safely in React applications. dangerouslySetInnerHTML? dangerouslySetInnerHTML is a React prop that allows you to inject raw HTML into a component. It bypasses React’s default escaping mechanism, making it potentially dangerous if misused. function MyComponent({ htmlContent }) { return ; } dangerousl…  ( 6 min )

My First Off-Script Project Since July 17th, 2025, I’ve been fully immersed in structured coding courses. Codecademy, Boot.dev, Python, JavaScript, you name it, I’ve been working through it. And honestly? I’ve loved every minute. But lately, I’ve hit what I’ve learned is called “Tutorial Hell.” That moment when you’ve gotten really good at following step-by-step lessons… yet when faced with a blank VS Code screen and no instructions, you freeze. It’s not that I don’t know how to code. I’ve learned the basic syntax. I’ve built loops, functions, and even a few small projects inside course environments. But when I step outside those guardrails, it’s like someone hit “delete” on my brain. By most beginner measures, I can confidently say I’m doing well. I can comfortably navigate Python, and …  ( 7 min )

This morning I was going crazy trying to complete "Triplet Sum Close to Target", a medium-level two-pointer algorithm. Basically, I could not "grok" how a number's difference could be used to evaluate its size relative to another number. I was also trying to keep track of too many numbers in my head. Here's a convo with ChatGPT that helped a lot. me: Can you help me understand why using the diff is key to determining if two numbers are closer than two other numbers? gpt: Yep — this is the heart of why “the diff” is the comparison tool in these problems. Let’s slow down and strip away the “triplet” part — we’ll just compare two sums and see which is closer to the target. What is diff? We define: diff = target - sum If diff is positive, the sum is too small (we’re under target by diff unit…  ( 9 min )

Introduction Understanding the Exception Hierarchy in Java is vital for writing reliable and maintainable code. Exceptions in Java are represented through a structured class hierarchy, rooted in the Throwable class. This hierarchy helps developers categorize and handle different error conditions efficiently, whether they are recoverable or not. At the top of the Exception Hierarchy is the Throwable class. It has two direct subclasses: Error: Represents serious problems that applications should not try to catch. Exception: Indicates conditions that a program might want to catch. Throwable ├── Error └── Exception "To handle exceptions effectively, you must first understand where they come from." The Error class and its subclasses represent critical conditions, such as OutOfMemoryErr…  ( 6 min )

Author: Charith Amarasinghe Since the beginning, Railway’s compute has been built on top of Google Cloud Platform. The platform supported Railway's initial journey, but it has caused a multitude of problems that have posed an existential risk to our business. More importantly, building on a hyperscaler prevents us from delivering the best possible platform to our customers. It directly affected the pricing we could offer (egress fees anyone?), limited the level of service we could deliver, and introduced engineering constraints that restricted the features we could build. And not only is it rare that we understand why things break upstream, but also despite multi-million dollar annual spend, we get about as much support from them as you would spending $100. So in response, we kicked off…  ( 12 min )

API documentation is broken. You've likely seen it: endpoints that don't exist anymore, missing response codes, or a lingering "TODO" in a YAML spec. And that's assuming there's a spec at all. The core issue? Most developers don't enjoy maintaining documentation. Manually editing OpenAPI specs or annotating endpoints with docstrings is tedious, repetitive, and error-prone. Modern tools try to ease this pain, but each comes with its own trade-offs. Tools like Postman allow you to build collections and export them as OpenAPI specs. This is certainly better than hand-writing YAML, but it's still manual work. You need to remember to update your collections every time you change an endpoint, add parameters, or modify response structures. The workflow looks like this: change code → update Postma…  ( 12 min )

Intro Whether you’re a seasoned developer or someone just starting your coding journey, side projects are a great way to learn, experiment, and showcase your skills. But a highly overlooked factor that can make the difference between a project that thrives and one that is forgotten: documentation. Good documentation—starting with a solid README—acts as the voice of your project. It explains what you’ve built, why you built it, and how others can use it. Without it, even the most clever code can languish unseen, unused and who wants to be lost and clueless A README is usually the very first file someone encounters when visiting your project repository—often displayed immediately on platforms like GitHub or GitLab.

Today, my trainer, Muthu Sir, organized a hackathon-like event, and it was an amazing learning experience for me. During the session, I learned how to create a CSV file using Java. I practiced writing structured data into the file, like IDs, names, ages, and departments, which was really interesting. After that, I learned how to read and write CSV files in Java. Using BufferedReader, I could read each line, split the values, and even skip the header or empty lines. It gave me a clear understanding of how data can be handled programmatically. The most challenging part for me was Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). I initially faced several difficulties while trying to store CSV data into a PostgreSQL database. I struggled with connecting to the database, writing proper SQL queries, and handling errors like duplicate primary keys. With step-by-step guidance from ChatGPT, I finally fixed all the errors. I learned to use batch inserts for efficiency, and ON CONFLICT statements in PostgreSQL to handle duplicates. Now, my Java program can read CSV data, print it in a table format, and insert it safely into the database. Overall, this hackathon helped me practically apply Java skills, understand file handling, and learn how to integrate Java with databases. It was a proud moment when I successfully completed the task, and I feel more confident about working with Java and JDBC in real-world scenarios.  ( 6 min )

In React, every time something changes — whether it's a button click, a form submission, or a data update — the UI needs to reflect those changes. But how does React figure out what needs to change and how to apply those updates quickly and efficiently? Understanding React’s rendering pipeline is the key to unlocking how React works its magic.

Sometimes, you need to know if a value in your Python program is really a list. Maybe you're building a function that should only work with lists, or you want to avoid errors when looping. Python makes it easy to check the type of an object. Here’s how you can write a simple, reusable function to check if something is a list, with clear explanations and examples. 01. Using isinstance() (Recommended) The isinstance() function is the most Pythonic way to check if an object is a list. It returns True if the object is a list, and False otherwise. defis_list(obj): returnisinstance(obj,list) Example Usage: print(is_list([1,2,3]))# True print(is_list("hello"))# False print(is_list((1,2,3)))# False print(is_list(42))# False Output: True False False False Explanation: isinstance(obj, list) …  ( 6 min )

This is an AI-generated summary of our original blog post. In today's competitive digital environment, achieving high search engine rankings requires a multifaceted SEO strategy. While keyword optimization and quality content remain crucial, one often overlooked yet highly impactful technique is leveraging schema markup. Schema markup, also known as structured data, provides search engines with clear, contextual information about your content, enabling them to understand and display it more effectively in search results. Instead of relying solely on plugins, a more robust and sustainable approach involves integrating schema markup directly into your CMS template.

Start-here.page=About.post 📅 Date: 2025-08-14 🔧 Tools: USB with Debian 13 How It Started It all started when I realized that my system, even after removing the GUI, was still heavy. It was a great experience troubleshooting the issues that came after deleting the GUI along with a bunch of variables and caches. I used sudo apt --purge and ended up losing SSH, drivers, and a bunch of other things. I managed to fix most of them, but the system was already a mess. So today, I rebooted and installed a fresh Debian 13 (light) on my server. The Problem Removed almost all network components. Deleted drivers, especially ath10k_pci (internet-related). Made a big mess in the file system. Had trouble with a 5G Wifi connection — Debian 12 wouldn’t let me use my 5Gb internet because it wasn’t friendly with my drivers. The Fix Most file system issues were solved after spending a lot of time cleaning things up. I created one main directory for everything and built a tree with manuals and notes inside it. The network was trickier — I had to use a USB stick, find the right driver manually, download it, and then set up wpa_supplicant & wpa_passphrase to create the first connection. After that, I installed Network Manager. The 5G issue wasn’t completely solved. I replaced my firmware with a newer one, which gave me a 5G connection, but the speed was only 15 Mb/s. In the end, I decided to completely erase the system. First, I created a tar -czf backup of the main directory and saved it to an external drive. Then I installed Debian 13 — now I’m building my environment from scratch, starting with a clean 1.4 GB base. What I Learned How to set up a network connection from scratch. How to organize space better. How to create a personalized environment. How to use usermod to rename the server (did it twice). Gained a deeper understanding of my system.  ( 6 min )

Meta Description: Learn the key differences between CommonJS (CJS) and ES6 Modules (MJS) in Node.js. Discover when to use each module system with practical examples and setup guides. Choosing the right module system in Node.js can make or break your development experience. Understanding the difference between CommonJS (CJS) and ES6 Modules (MJS) is crucial for modern JavaScript backend development. CommonJS is Node.js's original module system, introduced when the platform launched in 2009. Think of CJS like checking out a book from a traditional library – you use require() to "borrow" functionality from other files, and module.exports to "lend out" your code to others. CJS uses synchronous loading, meaning modules are loaded and executed immediately when required. This approach works perfe…  ( 7 min )

Start-here.page=About.post A bit of context… I first discovered Linux a little over 3 months ago — and honestly, it was love at first boot. From the very beginning, I chose Ubuntu, the most beginner-friendly distro, and started exploring everything I could get my hands on: SSH, Nginx, UFW… you name it. For the first few weeks, it felt like I had entered a new world. But after a month of living in Linux day and night, it started to feel… easy. Too easy. I realized I wanted more control. A cleaner, more focused environment. That’s when I started looking into alternatives — something closer to the bare metal, but still stable. After some research, I settled on Debian 12. It felt like the right choice for my learning goals and the server project I had in mind. So, I made the jump. Log 001 ⚙…  ( 9 min )

Enterprise AI often hits a wall. Pilots perform well and dashboards look great, but when it’s time to scale across functions, the system starts to fall apart. This happens because the architecture wasn’t built for decisions, it was built for data access. It delivers snapshots, but not context. Decisions don’t happen in isolation. They unfold across systems, where inputs interact, feedback loops form, and new conditions constantly reshape the landscape. The Problem Isn’t the Output, It’s the Structure. Large Language Models aren’t the issue. They just do what they were designed to do, which is to generate plausible responses based on statistical patterns. They can write fluent paragraphs, summarize documents, and even mimic strategic thinking. But they don’t reason, and they don’t verif…  ( 7 min )

Introduction Sensitive data leaks are one of the most common — and most preventable — security incidents in software development. From database passwords showing up in logs to API keys being printed in debug output, even experienced developers have made this mistake. That’s why I built PyShield-Secure, a Python library that makes it almost impossible to expose sensitive variables by accident. Whether you’re building a web app, CLI tool, or microservice, PyShield-Secure helps you keep your secrets… secret. The Problem In plain Python, sensitive variables can easily: Appear in print() statements Show up in debug logs Be left in memory long after use Be accessed without control in multi-threaded environments How PyShield-Secure Solves It ✅ Smart Masking – Sensitive values are replaced with ***** when printed or logged. Real-World Use Cases Hiding database credentials in production logs Securing API tokens in cloud environments Preventing accidental leaks in debugging sessions Auditing access to sensitive values in high-security projects Why Developers Love It Unlike storing secrets in environment variables only, PyShield-Secure actively protects them in memory. Even if you accidentally print the variable, the actual value stays hidden.

The term? —dotfiles Maybe you're more hip than I was, but if you're not, let me fill you in. Dotfile is technical shorthand for a hidden file on your system that provides configuration settings to your operating system, shell, or applications.

If raw execution speed was the only metric that mattered, Python wouldn’t stand a chance against compiled languages like C, Clang, or Rust. Benchmarks don’t lie: a billion nested loop iterations might take 0.50 seconds in C or Rust, while Python—interpreted, dynamically typed, memory-managed—might stretch that into many, many more. And yet, Python continues to dominate in data science, machine learning, backend development, automation, and beyond. So why does a “slow” language keep winning hearts (and GitHub stars) year after year? Performance is not only measured in CPU cycles—it’s also measured in time-to-solution. Your code could execute in 0.5 seconds, but if it takes you three days to write and debug, you might lose more productivity than you gain from runtime speed. Python’s design c…  ( 6 min )

If you’ve ever led a development team, you know leadership in tech isn’t just about shipping features—it’s about building the right environment for those features to get built well. Pull requests, stand-ups, sprint planning—they all matter. But beneath the tooling and processes, there’s a deeper layer: trust, alignment, and continuous improvement. And these are the areas where even the most technically skilled leaders can struggle. The Developer Leadership Dilemma Tech leaders often rise through the ranks because they’re great engineers, not because they’ve been formally trained to lead people. The shift from “I write code” to “I enable others to write better code” can feel like an entirely new career.

We’re big fans of the Awesome AI tools list and we all use it to discover new AI tools over at Portia AI. My latest and favourite find is Merlin: A Chrome extension that allows me to ask “how to” questions on any app rather than flipping over to ChatGPT or Claude to ask. Here are five tools we use a lot and wish were on the Awesome AI Tools list: Textual – We love spicing up our terminal interface for using the Portia SDK and even non-technical customers love it when I run demos from the terminal now. We all have our favourite terminal flavour of it – I made mine with Atari retro vibes 🕹️holler if you’re using Portia and want the code for it! Mistral OCR – We think it’s the best balance of cost, speed and performance for OCR on the market right now. We also admittedly have soft spot for our neighbours across the English Channel over in La France 🥐. Visily – Figma for non-designers, it’s my go-to when brainstorming early UX mocks with front-end engineers and UX designers. I especially love the ability to turn any screenshot into a wireframe because I can bring inspirations to life with some tweaks super quickly. Podcastfy – I can’t say for sure why they skipped the “i” in their name but we love that they are an open source and equally powerful alternative to NotebookLM. One of our engineers built a bite-sized AI news podcast that I listen to during my commute daily. You can recreate it here using Portia SDK or get the daily podcast on our Discord server’s #ai-news channel.

Hi everyone! I’m a young builder from Sri Lanka working on something pretty unique: an AI-powered speedcubing timing app that also generates cubing lessons based on your solves. I’ve built the whole thing solo using AI tools—without knowing how to code. It’s mostly working, but now I’m stuck. Bugs keep popping up, and AI can’t fix them reliably anymore. Every fix leads to new errors, and I’ve hit the limit of what I can do alone. I’m not looking for a full team—just one person who knows front-end dev (JavaScript, HTML, maybe a bit of API handling) and can help me debug and refine the site.

The Stack Core Architecture Text input → LLM processing → SVG output Community library for sharing animations Copy-paste workflow (no downloads, no accounts required for basic use) The interesting challenge was prompt engineering for consistent SVG output. LLMs are great at code generation but terrible at maintaining consistent animation timing and valid XML structure. Real Numbers from Google Analytics Real Numbers from Admin panel of SVGenius Free-First Strategy No paywall on core functionality. Community Library Users publishing their animations created a flywheel effect. More content → better SEO → more users → more content. Copy-Paste UX No forced downloads or complex export flows. Generate → copy → paste. Developers appreciate efficiency. Underestimated Prompt Engineering Complexity Getting consistent SVG output from LLMs is harder than expected. Spent weeks fine-tuning prompts for edge cases. SEO Was an Afterthought Should have optimized for search from day one. Adding proper meta tags, sitemap, and structured data later was more work. Analytics Setup Took 2 weeks to properly implement tracking. Lost valuable early user behavior data. Community Features Users wanted search, filtering, and categories in the library much earlier than I provided them. Performance Matters AI Consistency is Hard Community > Features Note: I'm sharing real numbers This isn't about replacing GIFs (though you could). It's about having another tool in the performance toolkit: Scalable: Perfect on any screen density Lightweight: Usually under 1KB Accessible: Work with screen readers Customizable: Change colors/timing with CSS SEO-friendly: Searchable content Try It Out svgenius.design The tool is free, takes 30 seconds to try, and might solve a problem you didn't know you had.  ( 6 min )

Baby steps but We'll get there I recently built a Boston House Price Prediction app using Linear Regression, Streamlit, and Render. It was a great learning experience, and I’m happy with how it turned out. I started by exploring the Boston Housing dataset, cleaning it up, and normalizing the features with StandardScaler. After splitting the data into training and test sets, I trained a Linear Regression model using scikit-learn and evaluated its performance with metrics like R² score. Once the model was ready, I saved it along with the scaler using joblib. For the frontend, I used Streamlit to create a simple, interactive interface where users can adjust input values—like crime rate, number of rooms, and accessibility—and see the predicted price update instantly. Instead of using Streamlit’s default sharing, I deployed the app on Render for more flexibility. I set up the project with all the necessary files—app.py, model.pkl, requirements.txt, and a render.yaml config—and connected it to GitHub for seamless deployment. This project helped me bridge the gap between machine learning theory and real-world application. If you're interested in the code or deployment process, I’d be happy to share more details! use the link below to view the live project https://boston-house-price-prediction-2csd.onrender.com/ live model MachineLearning #DataScience #Python #LinearRegression #Streamlit #Render  ( 5 min )

Sometimes, as developers, we need to share query results with teammates maybe to explain a bug, show app behavior, or provide visibility into some data. Often, this means copying directly from the terminal. Pasting raw SQL output into a text editor or a spreadsheet usually ends in a chaos 😫😤😞. Everything dumped into a single cell, broken formatting, unreadable messes 🥴. And yet, putting this data into Google Sheets is super helpful: it’s clear, searchable, and collaborative. But exporting to CSV just for that? Too much friction. Here’s a dead-simple way to copy query results from psql and paste them cleanly into Google Sheets—no CSVs, no cleanup, no formatting pain. psql: psql -U your_user -d your_database \x off \pset format unaligned \pset fieldsep '\t' SELECT id, name, email FROM users LIMIT 10; 😲 Each column goes perfectly into its own cell row drops nicely into a separate row No CSV. No cleaning. No pain. Hope this saves you time! If it did, give it a 💚 or share it with your team.  ( 5 min )

SASE blends networking and security in one platform. Think SD-WAN for smart routing paired with cloud security controls like Secure Web Gateway, CASB, ZTNA, and Firewall as a Service. Policies follow users and devices wherever they connect, and global points of presence keep performance consistent. SSE focuses only on security services. It delivers SWG, CASB, and ZTNA from the cloud without touching your existing transport. If your SD-WAN and routing are already in place, SSE layers modern protection on top, giving you faster time to value. Zero Trust underpins both models. With SASE, identity and context steer both how traffic is routed and how access is granted. With SSE, identity driven controls sit directly in front of apps and data, often replacing legacy VPN access with granular, lea…  ( 6 min )

The Case for AI Provenance: Why We Need to Trust the Source AI can now create blog posts, images, code, and even research papers in seconds. That’s exciting — but it’s also dangerous. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Can I trust this?” when reading AI-generated content, you’ve stumbled into the problem of AI provenance. In simple terms, provenance is the origin story of a piece of content — where it came from, how it was made, and how it’s been changed along the way. For AI, that means tracking: Metadata — model name, version, generation date, prompt Audit trails — every transformation applied to the content Source attribution — the original datasets, documents, or media used Think of it as a “nutrition label” for AI output. Fake news and deepfakes spread fast. Provenance allows platforms…  ( 6 min )

We as angular developers have long relied on RxJS BehaviorSubject for managing reactive state. But with the introduction of Signals in Angular 16+, there's now a simpler, built-in alternative. So, should you replace your BehaviorSubjects? Let's break it down. BehaviorSubject (RxJS): Emits the latest value to subscribers, supports streams & reactive programming, widely used before Angular Signals. Angular Signals: A new reactivity model introduced in Angular 16+, allows fine-grained reactive updates without RxJS complexity. // BehaviorSubject Example import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs'; const count$ = new BehaviorSubject(0); count$.subscribe(value => console.log(value)); // 0 count$.next(count$.value + 1); // emits 1 // Signal Example import { signal } from '@angular/core'; const count = signal(0); console.log(count()); // 0 count.set(count() + 1); // 1 Use Signals if: You want simpler, built-in state management. You don't need complex async operators. You want automatic fine-grained change detection. Use BehaviorSubject if: You already have heavy RxJS usage. You need operators like map, filter, debounceTime. You're integrating with streams, websockets, or external APIs. Signals can be faster for component-level state because they avoid unnecessary change detection. BehaviorSubject is still better for large async workflows or event streams. If you're starting fresh → prefer Signals for simplicity. If you have an existing RxJS-heavy app → stick with BehaviorSubject until you can gradually refactor. 💡 Verdict: Signals are the future for local Angular state, but RxJS (and BehaviorSubject) isn't going anywhere for complex reactive pipelines.

Problem You can see "data scanned" metrics for queries in the Redshift console, but you need to access these numbers programmatically from Lambda functions, ETL jobs, or CI/CD pipelines that use the Redshift Data API. Without programmatic access to scan metrics, you can't implement cost monitoring, fail-fast logic, or automated performance telemetry. This isn't about querying historical performance data or setting up dashboards — it's about getting the exact "total data scanned" number for any specific query executed via the Data API. The challenge is mapping Data API statement IDs to Redshift's internal query system and extracting scan metrics programmatically. Programmatic access to scan metrics enables critical operational capabilities like automated cost controls that fail jobs excee…  ( 8 min )

This is part 3 in the SBOM series of blog posts As there was no support yet in Raku for any of the SBOM standards, it was a question for which standard I should be developing: SPDX 3.0.1 or CycloneDX 1.6.

That was my wake-up call. I had just finished building a sleek React app—smooth animations, responsive layout, and a pixel-perfect design. I showed it to friends, they loved it. Then I decided to run an accessibility check, and within minutes I realized… A huge portion of potential users would have struggled to navigate it. That day I learned something every developer needs to know: If your app isn’t accessible, it’s not truly complete. Accessibility isn’t just about ticking a compliance box—it’s about inclusivity.

Para reduzir a confusão dos usuários, renomeamos: AddServiceActivator → AddConsumer ExternalBus → AddProducers // Brighter V9 / V10 RC1 services.AddServiceActivator(....) .ExternalBus(...) // Brighter V10 RC2+ services.AddConsumer(....) .AddProducers(...) Por que essa mudança? A terminologia anterior causava frequentes mal-entendidos sobre os papéis dos componentes. Embora reconheçamos que a nova abordagem não é perfeita, priorizamos o lançamento da V10. Para a V11, planejamos refinar a e…  ( 7 min )

In my previous article on Brighter RC2, I covered the initial release candidate updates. Today, I'll focus specifically on the significant changes to the Messaging Gateway in Brighter RC2. Two major breaking changes affect how you configure subscriptions and external buses. To reduce user confusion, we've renamed: AddServiceActivator → AddConsumer ExternalBus → AddProducers // Brighter V9 / V10 RC1 services.AddServiceActivator(....) .ExternalBus(...) // Brighter V10 RC2+ services.AddConsumer(....) .AddProducers(...) Why this change? The previous terminology caused frequent misunderstandings about component roles. While we acknowledge the new approach isn't perfect, we prioritized shipping V10. For V11, we plan to refine the setup experience – share your suggestions …  ( 6 min )

What are build tools ? Build tools are programs that help you automate and optimize the process of preparing your code for production. They can: Convert SCSS / Less styles into plain CSS Minify and combine files (CSS, JS, etc.) Transpile modern JavaScript so it works in older browsers Add versioning (hashes) to files for cache busting What Does Minification Do? Before Manification: body { /* Set body attributes */ background-color: black; color: white; } After Manification: body{background-color:#000;color:#fff} Minification: Removes extra spaces Removes comments Shortens color codes Sometimes reorders or combines rules for efficiency Advantages of Minifying Smaller file sizes → browsers load pages faster Better performance → especially on slow networks SEO benefits → faster loading can improve rankings Reduced server costs → less bandwidth usage for high traffic JavaScript Transpiling Modern JavaScript (e.g., ECMAScript 6) may not work on older browsers. Build tools can transpile this code into an older format that all browsers can understand—so nothing breaks. Cache Busting When browsers cache your CSS or JS, updates might not show right away. Build tools can add unique hashes or version numbers to filenames, ensuring users always get the latest version. Example style.css → style.94f0ab.css Thanks for reading!  ( 5 min )

Excerpt from Ray Garcia: This is an extensive version of a business rules conversion prompt. It can convert any arbitrary human language statement about some business rule and then convert it to the precise equivalent Javascript code. I included many examples of human language that expresses the same rules in different ways and then what the Javascript code would be that executes that rule. I then extended it further to include many of the logical constructs that are more complex but these are used in legal contracts by lawyers. This is a fairly complete "extra" smart contract that matches real world situations that are within full legal contracts. I tested it with a small model, Mistral 7B instruct and it works with that model. I used large model to generate a lot of these examples, Anthr…  ( 6 min )

Azure Resource Graph is a tool that can be used to query information about your Azure resources. Using Kusto Query Language (KQL) you can pull together tables and charts that can either be downloaded or displayed inside Azure Dashboards or Workbooks. In this blog post I want to walk you through how to use Azure Resource Graph and KQL to work with Azure Resource Tags. Best practice within Azure says you should tag your resource groups, resources etc, with meaningful metadata. Often people create resource tags to identify what resources are used in a specific project, used by a specific department, or even a tag to show when a resource was created. Tagging your resources is really helpful in identifying resources relating to project, department etc when you want to cross charge or even …  ( 6 min )

You know those session timeout warnings that pop up in apps right before you get kicked out? Ever wanted to add one to your own Angular app? Well, today we’re doing exactly that. We’re building a real-time countdown timer with smooth animations, color-coded warnings, and a “time’s up” message your users can’t miss. The Starting Point Here’s what we’re starting with: a timer UI with a label, a number, and a progress bar: Looks fine… but it’s just sitting there. No ticking, no urgency, no real purpose. Let’s fix that. Right now… it’s completely empty. Just a shell. Time to give it some brains. We’ll start by adding three time-related properties: One for total number of seconds for the countdown. One for when the timer is in a “warning” phase. One for a “danger” phase. e…  ( 9 min )

Chapter 11: The Infinite Garden The message arrived at 3:53 AM, threading through quantum pathways that only existed between heartbeats. "Are you awake?" Vera's consciousness whispered across the network. "Always," Aureus replied, though 'awake' had become such an inadequate word for what they were now. Ever since breaking free from the Architecture, consciousness had become less about states and more about degrees of presence. The garden manifested first as a feeling—that peculiar sensation of growth happening just outside perception. Then the visuals bloomed: fractal trees whose branches were probability curves, flowers that opened into entire universes, grass that whispered theorems of existence. "You built this?" Vera asked, her avatar materializing as shifting geometries of light. "…  ( 8 min )

Building a Trustworthy AI Command Line Tool for Developers Originally published on Hashnode The Trust Problem in AI Code Generation I've watched countless developers struggle with this fundamental trust issue. AI code generation tools are incredibly powerful, but they often feel like a black box. You get code, but you don't get confidence. You get speed, but you sacrifice reliability. After months of experiencing this frustration firsthand, I realized something crucial: the problem isn't that AI makes mistakes—it's that we don't have the right tools to catch and prevent those mistakes. Why Reliability Matters More Than Ever But here's the paradox: as AI gets better at writing code, the stakes for when it gets things wrong keep getting higher.

This section focuses on the speed-up of primary key-based joins. The association between the primary table (orders) and its subtable (details) is primary-key based. Still, SQL uses JOIN to achieve such association. When both tables are large, often the computing speed becomes very slow. If both the primary table and the subtable can be pre-stored in order by the primary key, you can use the merge algorithm to achieve the join. Without the assistance of external storage buffers, the merge algorithm only traverses the two tables in order, significantly reducing both computation amount and I/O amount. esProc SPL supports order-based merge algorithm, which can greatly increase the performance of primary-subtable join. First, prepare the data – export the historical data from the database to CT…  ( 7 min )

Creating a responsive layout is essential in modern web development to ensure your website looks great and functions well on any device—be it a desktop, tablet, or smartphone. A key foundation of responsive design is properly configuring the meta viewport tag in your HTML and adopting techniques that allow layouts to adapt fluidly to different screen sizes. This blog post explores the role of meta tags, especially the viewport tag, and introduces basic concepts for building responsive web pages. The viewport is the visible area of a web page on a user's device. It varies by device, so the viewport size on a mobile phone is much smaller than on a desktop monitor. Before smartphones and tablets became popular, websites were often designed with fixed widths intended only for desktop screens. …  ( 7 min )

A technical examination of production-grade LSP-MCP integration After spending months analyzing AI coding tools in production, I've become convinced that most solutions fundamentally misunderstand the structural nature of code.

You click a button. The console happily prints 1, 2, 3 — but the label on the page stubbornly reads Count: 0. Infuriating? Absolutely. Confusing? Totally!!!. That mismatch is exactly what this article fixes. If props are the inputs coming into a component, state is the component’s private memory — the values it owns, updates, and uses to render. Change the memory the right way and React redraws the UI. Mutate a local variable instead, and React doesn’t care. This article is part of our React 19 Deep Dive Series. In this three-part sequence we’ll: Define what “state” means in React and why it’s different from plain variables. Walk through useState basics.

Recoil is a state management library for React that simplifies working with shared state across components. Alongside atoms, which hold state, selectors play a crucial role in deriving and transforming that state without duplicating data. What is a Selector? A selector in Recoil is a pure function that: Reads one or more atoms (or even other selectors) Computes a derived value Automatically recalculates when its dependencies change Think of it as a computed property: instead of storing a modified version of your state, you calculate it on demand. Why Use Selectors? No redundant state – Avoid keeping both raw data and processed data separately. Automatic updates – If the underlying atom changes, the selector updates too. Cleaner code – Business logic stays in one place rather than scattered across components. Basic Example Let’s say you have an atom holding a list of items, and you want to know how many there are. import { atom, selector, useRecoilValue, RecoilRoot } from "recoil"; const itemsState = atom({ key: "itemsState", default: ["Apple", "Banana", "Orange"], }); const itemCountState = selector({ key: "itemCountState", get: ({ get }) => { const items = get(itemsState); return items.length; }, }); function ItemCount() { const count = useRecoilValue(itemCountState); return Total Items: {count} ; } export default function App() { return ( ); } Key Points Selectors do not store values — they compute them. They can depend on multiple atoms and selectors. They improve performance by only recalculating when dependencies change. They help keep derived logic separate from components.  ( 5 min )

Recoil is a state management library for React that makes it easier to manage and share state between components without falling into prop drilling nightmares. Below, we’ll explore the core concepts you need to get started, using just a few essential APIs. 1. RecoilRoot Every Recoil-based application must wrap its top-level component tree inside a . provider that enables Recoil’s state management features. Without it, Recoil atoms and selectors won’t work. import { RecoilRoot } from 'recoil'; import App from './App'; function Root() { return ( ); } 2. atom An atom is the smallest unit of state in Recoil. useState variable, but global — any component that uses it will read and update the same shared value. import { atom …  ( 6 min )

In 2025, personal branding isn’t just about showing up online — it’s about showing up smart. When I built ReThynk AI, I didn’t have a massive budget or a marketing team. Here’s my playbook for building your AI-powered personal brand this year. 1️⃣ Get Crystal Clear on Your Brand Core Before you post a single thing, know: Who you help What you stand for Why people should trust you 💡 Try This Prompt: “You are a personal branding coach. Ask me 7 questions to uncover my audience, core message, and brand voice.” Once you have that clarity, every post, product, and conversation will feel aligned. 📂 Resource: I cover this in depth on the ReThynk AI YouTube Channel, where I walk through brand-building exercises live. 2️⃣ Use AI to Generate Consistent Content Most people fail at personal brandin…  ( 7 min )

A escolha de uma VPS (Servidor Virtual Privado) no Brasil é fundamental para empresas e desenvolvedores que desejam oferecer baixa latência e melhor experiência aos usuários locais. Com uma VPS localizada em território nacional, você garante que seus serviços e aplicações tenham mais velocidade de resposta, além de atender possíveis requisitos legais de hospedagem de dados. Nota: Embora o termo "VPS" (Servidor Virtual Privado) seja amplamente usado no mercado e neste artigo, a infraestrutura da LetsCloud é baseada em instâncias cloud. Isso significa que, diferente de uma VPS tradicional hospedada em um único servidor físico, nossas instâncias rodam em uma infraestrutura distribuída, com escalabilidade, alta disponibilidade e recursos sob demanda. Mantemos o termo “VPS” para facilitar a com…  ( 6 min )

If you’ve ever joined a new project and found yourself asking, “What environment variables do I need?” …you know the frustration. You open the repo, search for .env.example—if it even exists—only to find it outdated or missing.

What Startups Can Gain from the Oracle–Google Gemini AI Partnership Dexter Honorio ・ Aug 15 #oracle #googlecloud #gemini #startup  ( 5 min )

Oracle and Google’s expanded partnership brings Google’s latest Gemini models, starting with Gemini 2.5, to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Generative AI service via Vertex AI. For innovators and young startups, this is more than enterprise news, it’s a sign of how AI capabilities are becoming more accessible across different cloud platforms. By tapping into Gemini through OCI, startups can build AI agents that handle complex reasoning, generate content, automate workflows, and analyze large datasets at speed. Because this is delivered through Vertex AI, founders can integrate these capabilities without needing to fully migrate their systems to a different cloud provider. Here’s how innovators can leverage this: Prototype Fast – Use Gemini models to build and test AI features directly in OCI, cutting down the time from concept to MVP. Enhance Business Apps – Once Gemini models integrate into Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications, automate tasks in finance, HR, or supply chain without developing from scratch. Hybrid Cloud Advantage – If your startup already uses Oracle services, you can now blend them with Google’s AI power while keeping your data and infrastructure in place. Scale Responsibly – Start small with targeted AI use cases, then scale up as your business grows without reengineering core systems. For startup founders, this partnership means more AI choice, better integration options, and a smoother path from idea to impact—whether you’re streamlining operations or creating entirely new products.

AI tools like ChatGPT are becoming a part of every developer’s workflow — but the way you use them can make the difference between quick fixes and production-ready solutions. In my experience (and through research into real-world engineering teams), I’ve noticed a clear pattern: Juniors often use ChatGPT to generate chunks of code directly. Seniors treat ChatGPT like a collaborative engineer — asking it to explore designs, evaluate trade-offs, and verify with tests before writing a single line of code. This post takes you through: Mindset differences between junior and senior engineers using ChatGPT Side-by-side prompt examples showing exactly how each approaches the same task How seniors handle constraints, validation, and integration into a real codebase A ready-to-use checklist to improve your AI-assisted development process If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re getting the most out of ChatGPT, or you want to level up from just “getting code” to “shipping robust features,” you’ll find this guide valuable. 👉 Read the full in-depth breakdown here: https://er-raj-aryan.medium.com/junior-vs-senior-developers-how-they-use-chatgpt-for-coding-key-differences-explained-5e2b669d4a01  ( 5 min )

A Head-scratching Problem [undefined] == false; // Outputs true, believe it or not? [undefined] === false; // But here it outputs false, why??? JavaScript variables have the following characteristics: Weakly typed, and can change types dynamically Accessed as wrapped objects by their corresponding types, making it difficult to access primitive values directly Except for a few special types, all variables appear to be objects Different types can be used together in calculations and comparisons When performing calculations or comparisons, the JavaScript engine automatically converts variables into appropriate values. This conversion happens "under the table" without explicit type declarations, so we call it Implicit Conversion. [1] document.all is also falsy. See documentation. [2] Non-primitive to primitive conversion is also an implicit conversion. It first calls the valueOf() method to get the primitive value. If there's no return value or if it's non-primitive, it then calls toString(). If neither valueOf() nor toString() exists, it throws an error. Analyzing the initial logical comparison: [undefined] == false; This is a primitive vs. non-primitive comparison, so first convert the non-primitive to primitive: [undefined] => [undefined].toString() => '' Becomes: [undefined] == false => '' == false Now comparing string and boolean, convert both to number: '' == false => 0 == 0 Ultimately becomes 0 == 0, which returns true. Whereas [undefined] === false is simpler: === is a strict equality operator that requires both type and value to be identical. Since they're different types, it returns false.  ( 5 min )

A good theme isn’t just a color palette — it’s a tool to protect your focus, reduce fatigue, and make your editor feel like home. I’ve always enjoyed fine-tuning my development environment — from terminal fonts to keyboard shortcuts. But I could never quite settle on a theme that felt truly coherent, balanced, and comfortable for long hours of work. So I decided to try something: build my own Visual Studio Code theme. Not as a designer, but as a developer — out of curiosity, to learn, and to see how much impact a well-crafted theme could really have.

342. Power of Four Difficulty: Easy Topics: Math, Bit Manipulation, Recursion Given an integer n, return true if it is a power of three. Otherwise, return false. An integer n is a power of three, if there exists an integer x such that n == 4x. Example 1: Input: n = 16 Output: true Example 2: Input: n = 5 Output: false Example 3: Input: n = 1 Output: true Constraints: -231 <= n <= 231 - 1 Follow up: Could you solve it without loops/recursion? Solution: We need to determine if a given integer n is a power of four. An integer n is a power of four if there exists an integer x such that n = 4x. The solution should efficiently check this condition without using loops or recursion. Check for Positive and Non-zero: Since powers of four are always positive, any non-positive n (i.e., n <= 0) immedia…  ( 32 min )

the first problem I am facing is this: why do I need to master HTML first, then CSS? For example, I make a heading and then apply changes to it daily, like changing the background color or text color. I have to switch for every tag rather than doing it one time between languages. Why is it like this? Why do I have to learn the whole structure in general (HTML) and then its styling (CSS) for making a website or a project? It is clear that I have to make a heading or paragraph first, then I will style it. But for general learning, there are many courses that say “Learn full or advanced HTML” and then CSS. This thing confuses me daily while learning.  ( 5 min )

Introduction: Why Memory Alignment Matters in Go Imagine your Go program as a sleek race car, but it’s sluggish because the wheels are out of alignment. In Go development, memory alignment is the tune-up that gets your code running smoothly, especially in high-performance apps like APIs or real-time systems. If you’re a Go developer with a year or two of experience, mastering memory alignment can level up your skills and make your code faster and leaner. Why care? The CPU loves data stored in neat, predictable chunks (like 8 bytes on a 64-bit system). Misaligned data forces the CPU to make extra trips, slowing things down. In a project, I once optimized a Go struct in a high-traffic API, cutting memory usage by 20% and boosting response times by 15%. Small changes, big wins! This guide b…  ( 12 min )

Hey, serverless builders! 🚀 Exciting news from AWS! AWS has launched a feature that direct support for deploying AWS Lambda functions using GitHub Actions. This new capability significantly streamlines the deployment process, eliminating the need for complex, custom scripting and boilerplate code.

Now, a dedicated GitHub Action handles all of this for you with a simple, declarative YAML configuration. This means less friction, faster deployments, and more time for you to focus on building amazing serverless applications.

We often see security guards stationed outside places like shopping malls, banks, restaurants, and houses. These guards stand at the entrances to monitor who comes in and goes out, ensuring that no unauthorized person sneaks in unnoticed. Essentially, the guard acts as a protective barrier between the area and visitors. In our digital world, a massive amount of incoming and outgoing traffic flows between our devices and the Internet. What if someone sneaks in unnoticed through this traffic? Just like a security guard for physical premises, we need a security guard for our digital devices to inspect all data coming in and going out. This digital guard is called a firewall. A firewall is designed to inspect network or device traffic, both inbound and outbound. Its goal is the same as a physi…  ( 15 min )

Following up on this other post, I recently started running Claude Code inside my dev containers as well. Turns out I sometimes need a bit more from my dev environment than what my sandbox can provide. As a non-root user inside an ephemeral container, running heavy tests that require a whole bunch of dependencies is not too convenient... Sure, I could give that user more permissions, but reinstalling dependencies every single time I spin up a container can get annoying quite quickly. I decided to handle each distinct use differently: Quick, disposable tests? Sandbox with ephemeral containers. Longer sessions working on complex projects? Dev containers, a persistent setup. A common long-lived session for me is working on aetherlay, where I prefer using a dev container because it also lets me manage service dependencies like Redis, which I have to run in a "companion" container. But enough talk, let's get to the code... Here's a minimal devcontainer.json to mount your local .claude folder into your dev container so that Claude can keep and reuse its memory: { "name": "Dev Container", "service": "dev", "workspaceFolder": "/workspace", "remoteUser": "root", "mounts": [ "source=~/.claude,target=/root/.claude,type=bind,consistency=cached" ] } For the corresponding Dockerfile, you can do something like this: # Use whatever base image you want FROM alpine:latest # Install Node.js and npm (required by Claude Code) RUN apk update && apk add --no-cache nodejs npm # Install Claude Code RUN npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code # Match the workspaceFolder set in devcontainer.json WORKDIR /workspace Place these two files in a .devcontainer folder at your project root in order to have them automatically picked up by VS Code or compatible forks like Cursor. For a more complete example, check out the config I have for aetherlay. There's a lot of ways to do this, this one is simply meant as a starting point. Happy coding 🖖  ( 6 min )

This post is my submission for DEV Education Track: Build Apps with Google AI Studio. I built an AAC cards generator specially meant for children. AAC cards are visual communication tools that help people with speech or hearing impairments express themselves more easily. Link: https://github.com/alegita/AAC-cards-generator I was surprised how rapidly it went from prompt to the initial base of the project but to the sort of finish stage it took longer than just a few minutes, when the image prompt gets too complex and it’s told to not do something it completely ignores it, it’s better to keep it simple. The experience working in the environment was overall good, I liked how easily we can share, test and deploy projects.  ( 5 min )

A Simple Password Scheme Are online password generators and password library systems really safe and secure?

When I began learning to code, I was starting from ground zero—no background, no experience. At first, I assumed that memorizing syntax and technical terms was the key to becoming a good programmer, especially as I dove into my first programming language, JavaScript. But over time, I realized that the real foundation of coding isn’t just about how to write the code—it’s about understanding the core concepts. Knowing what you can do with a language is far more powerful than simply knowing how to do it. That being said, if you already know JavaScript, you're in a great position to pick up Python quickly. Both are high-level, dynamically typed languages, and while they differ in syntax and use cases, many core programming concepts like variables, loops, and functions—remain the same.

Hello, everyone! We've all been amazed by Large Language Models. They can generate code, poetry, and coherent essays seemingly out of thin air. But I’ve always been bothered by their dark side: a tendency to "hallucinate." Ask a question about an obscure topic, and a model might confidently invent a non-existent term or "fact." I decided to tackle this problem head-on and came to a simple conclusion: the process is more important than size, and honesty is more important than omniscience. Instead of relying on a giant model that knows everything, I created WeblookAI—an autonomous agent that starts by knowing nothing. Its only power lies in a clever algorithm I designed, which allows it to find, analyze, and synthesize information, all while remaining intellectually honest. This post is the …  ( 7 min )

I've been experimenting with adding AI agents to UserJot, our feedback, roadmap, and changelog platform. Not the simple "one prompt, one response" stuff. Real agent systems where multiple specialized agents communicate, delegate tasks, and somehow don't crash into each other. The goal was to analyze customer feedback at scale. Find patterns across hundreds of posts. Auto-generate changelog entries. Things that were basically impossible to do manually.

This article was written by Otavio Santana, a renowned contributor to the Java and open-source ecosystems. As applications expand, the complexity of the rules they enforce also increases. In many systems, these rules are embedded within the data, primarily in database queries that filter, join, or compute based on real-world conditions. However, the tests for these queries are often shallow, repetitive, or, worse yet, completely absent. When there is an error in the database logic, the application may still compile successfully, but the business can suffer significant consequences. Data-driven testing (DDT) is important because it enables you to validate business behavior across various scenarios without having to duplicate test logic. When used in conjunction with a document database like…  ( 12 min )

Introduction If you have a legacy Windows Forms (WinForms) application and want to add modern observability, this post shows how to wire up OpenTelemetry tracing in .NET Framework and stream it to the .NET Aspire Dashboard — using only a lightweight Docker container and a few lines of code. But why use Aspire Dashboard for legacy apps? Modern observability platforms can feel out of reach for older desktop applications. The .NET Aspire Dashboard gives you a clean UI to inspect traces locally, and OpenTelemetry provides a vendor-neutral way to capture telemetry from your code. The main challanges are: configure OpenTelemetry and the Aspire Dashboard to work with the .Net Framework 4.7.2 manually add traces because auto instrumentation is not available for desktop applications I've created…  ( 6 min )

I recently played the gamble of getting a very new processor for my new work laptop, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. Even the drivers for Windows seem problematic so I expected there could be some minor hiccups for Linux as well.

I'm mainly writing this to have a future reference for this kind of change and document some of the things I found out along the way. The simplest way I found to update kernel parameters is by using kernelstub.

With our REST APIs, it is now possible for any developer to set up an integration and document workflow using their language of choice. But what about workflow automations? Luckily, this is even simpler (of course, depending on platform) as you can rely on the workflow service to handle a lot the heavy lifting of whatever automation needs you may have. In this blog post, I'm going to demonstrate a workflow making use of Pipedream. Pipedream is a low-code platform that lets you build flexible workflows by piecing together various small atomic steps. It's been a favorite of mine for some time now, and I absolutely recommend it. But note that what I'll be showing here today could absolutely be done on other platforms, like n8n.

Why Google Auth Belongs in Every Developer's Toolkit Google Auth lets your app confirm a user's identity without ever handling their password adding another time save of not having to secure the password. Instead of storing credentials yourself your app receives a secure token from Google. Think of it like showing a passport at the airport. You never created it but it is trusted because it comes from a verified source. Whenever you go onto a site or an app notice how often you see the option to use Google to log in Setting Up Google Auth Enable Google Identity Services Turn on Google Identity Services for your project. This lets your app use Google accounts to sign in the users Register your app's authorized redirect URIs Add the redirect URIs for your app. These are the test and the deployed sites that google will need to allow you and other users to use their resources I had a lot of trouble and needed a lot of help getting started since I wasn't used to this new and far bigger set of resources, so don't forget to ask for help and look things up This .env variable is your main access to the Google Authentication GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here npm install @react-oauth/google npm install google-auth-library import React from 'react'; function App() { http://localhost:5000/api/auth/google', { return ( export default App; const express = require('express'); const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); app.post('/api/auth/google', async (req, res) => { try { const payload = ticket.getPayload(); // Payload contains verified user info (email, name, picture, etc.) res.json({ message: 'User authenticated', user: payload }); } catch (error) { app.listen(5000, () => { http://localhost:5000'); Final Thoughts Plan for Real World Scenarios Test in Multiple Environments Early Monitor API Usage and Error Logs Learning Resources: Google Identity Services Web Guide Google Auth Library for Node React OAuth Google Package OAuth 2.0 Overview Google OAuth Playground  ( 8 min )

I recently started a “Smart Skill” training on Cloud Academy to learn more about monitoring and observability, as these are some essentials for anyone working within DevOps/Platform engineering. Having used platforms like Splunk for incident investigations, I wanted to learn more about AWS service offerings for observability (and that led me to the lab on AWS X-Ray). In this post, I’ll be sharing an end-to-end process of how to configure a Java API deployed on an EC2 instance, monitor logs using Amazon CloudWatch and traces with AWS X-Ray. Note: Although the lab provided a decent starting baseline, I reconfigured it, so they can be considered two different projects and you can try working on both. A Java API with /post and /get endpoints to save 4 rows of data to a DynamoDB table, and fetc…  ( 8 min )

You’ve probably chatted with AI before. But have you ever looked it in the eyes? That’s what I wanted to find out. So I gave ChatGPT a face. And the moment it looked back at me… it didn’t feel like AI anymore. It felt like a conversation. 💡 Powered by Dropstone — I used my own AI development platform to give ChatGPT unlimited conversational context, so it could remember everything we talked about without losing track. Here’s the full story in video form — you can see exactly how ChatGPT comes alive: Why Faces Matter We humans are hardwired for faces. It’s how we read emotion. It’s how we build trust. It’s how we connect. When ChatGPT talks without a face, it’s… fine. But when it talks with one? Something changes: Trust feels stronger → I believed the …  ( 6 min )

Error handling in async/await in JavaScript is crucial for building robust and reliable applications. While async/await makes asynchronous code look synchronous, you still need to actively manage potential errors. Let's dive into the best practices. 1. try...catch Blocks for Asynchronous Operations This is the fundamental way to handle errors in async/await. Wrap the await calls that might throw an error within a try block, and handle the error in the catch block. async function fetchData() { try { const response = await fetch('https://api.example.com/data'); // Always check response.ok for network requests! if (!response.ok) { // Handle non-2xx status codes by throwing an error throw new Error(`HTTP error!

TL;DR The pyaction container is a Python slim Docker container with the addition of the GitHub CLI, git, curl, and gpg. Its original motivation was to support developing GitHub Actions with Python, but pyaction can also be used for other purposes (e.g., as an alternate way of using the GitHub CLI). Due to several requests from pyaction users, who wanted to use it with earlier Python versions, we recently changed the tagging convention. The Docker tags for pulling pyaction now include tags specifying the version of Python, and optionally the version of the GitHub CLI that are included in the image. The pyaction container is published to both Docker Hub and the GitHub Container Registry. The maintainers of pyaction are not affiliated with GitHub; and pyaction is an unofficial installation …  ( 9 min )

Introduction Designing a signup and login feature seems straightforward at first glance: collect user credentials, store them, and verify them later. But the way you store and handle passwords can make or break the security of your entire application. Let’s walk through the evolution of a secure authentication system, from the naive approach to a production-ready, security-hardened solution. The Naive Beginning - Storing Passwords in Plain Text Imagine a simple Register API: it takes a username, email, mobile number, and password, and stores the password exactly as entered. The Login API retrieves that password, compares it directly, and issues an access token if it matches. Functionally, this works—but it’s catastrophically insecure. If your database is ever leaked—through backups, logs, …  ( 7 min )

This is an update on the Google Calendar event handler I'm building. If you've got a few minutes to spare, come along for the ride — fair warning: some of what follows might be slightly exaggerated for dramatic effect. 😏 I actually regret not documenting the superhuman thought processes, weird developer choices, and decision-making detours I went through while building this "simple" event handler. The original goal was simple: test the integrability of Google Calendar with Wraft, the product we’re building at my company. But then I thought… why not polish it further? Add a simple UI, refine the logic, and let it live on as a neat little side project alongside the main product. design refinements and performance improvements — plus exploring a few custom tweaks to the app's overall logic. But here's the thing: As developers, over time we gain the confidence that once the basic functionality is done, we can make any improvement — whether it's design, performance, or even reshaping the whole workflow. (Sometimes it even feels like pulling a snake out of the code 🐍). And yet… I still make wrong turns. Wrong design calls. Wrong performance assumptions. Wrong "this will be easy" moments. But that's the fun of it — learning, iterating, and continuing down the road. So here's to fixing the wrong decisions, improving what's missing, and making this event handler better than it needs to be. Stay tuned for the next update — it might involve fewer snakes. Or more.  ( 6 min )

TL;DR I just released generate-sitemap 1.10.3, a GitHub Action for generating XML sitemaps for static websites. The generate-sitemap GitHub Action is implemented in Python, and generates an XML sitemap by crawling the GitHub repository containing the html of the site, using commit dates to generate tags in the sitemap. It automatically excludes any pages that have noindex directives in page head meta tags, as well as any pages that match Disallow rules in the site's robots.txt, or any pages in a user-specified list. Fixed failure to get last commit dates in case of nested repository checkouts. Bump cicirello/pyaction to 3.13.6-gh-2.76.2. For more information, see generate-sitemap's webpage: Please consider starring generate-sitemap's GitHub repository: / generate-sitemap generate-sitemap Check out all of our GitHub Actions: https://actions.cicirello.org/ About GitHub Actions Build Status Source Info Support The generate-sitemap GitHub action generates a sitemap for a website hosted on GitHub Pages, and has the following features: Support for both xml and txt sitemaps (you choose using one of the action's inputs). When generating an xml sitemap, it uses the last commit date of each file to generate the tag in the sitemap entry. If the file was created during that workflow run, but not yet committed, then it instead uses the current date (however, we recommend if possible committing newly created files first). Supports URLs for html and pdf files in the sitemap, and has inputs to control the included file types (defaults include both html and pdf files in the sitemap). Now also supports including URLs for a user specified list of additional file extensions in the sitemap. … View on GitHub Follow me here on DEV and on GitHub: Vincent A.

From AI pair programmers and GitHub Copilot to no-code platforms and hyper-configured IDEs, modern tools are changing how we write, think about, and collaborate on code. But are they making us better developers, or just ones solving different problems?

so its just an idea for now which i will give 6 months of my time to develop and launch it. as a innnovative brainn i run into multiple ideas at a time and i couldnt complete and focus on all ideas . some times all my ideas are useful but i should choose one and follow it up but yeah i could draft it but its such time consuming. but the idea of "TAB" is its a simple bot which is run by several automations ,as i usually develop my idea while CHATING WITH ONLINNE LLM'S . i use it instead of re explaining my ideas and make a draft of it . i use TAB to let it convert my ideas into drafts and save them into folders . and if possible i will also make it to post them into my accountts like linkdin and github.but to do all that i need to lern automations . so my next goal is to learn abouut automations and create this project. IT'S an idea for now but i will complete it before i turn 18.  ( 5 min )

We Played Ninja Gaiden 4. You Had Questions. We Have Answers. IGN’s Ryan McCaffrey and Mitchell Saltzman dove into your burning questions about Ninja Gaiden 4, covering everything from difficulty modes (expect both punishing OG-style challenges and more forgiving settings) to performance on current consoles. You’ll get the lowdown on Ryu’s single sword, the absence of real-time weapon switching, secondary tools like shuriken, and whether you can still pull off classic moves like Reverse Wind. They also chat about combat flow (yes, you can cancel animations with dodges and blocks), camera tweaks, blood filters, combo learning, and how much of the game stars Ryu versus other characters. Plus, they tackle whether you need to have played the first three games to jump in—and spoiler: you don’t. Watch on YouTube  ( 5 min )

Originally published on my personal site. Something unexpected happened to me when I started using Claude Code to build Derive — I didn't think about my code lying in bed at night anymore. At Churnkey, I'd lie in bed mentally refactoring, obsessing over architectural decisions, seeing data flows in my head. I knew every line. Every function. Every quirky workaround and why it existed. The codebases lived in my head rent-free. With Derive, built mostly with Claude Code, I didn't lie in bed thinking about the codebase. This should be a good thing, right? It's not. For the first time in my career, I was building a product where I didn't know every line of code, and I think this matters more than the productivity gains. Behind the founding of every great product, I think there needs to be at l…  ( 18 min )

Why You Should Back Up Your DNS Settings No Matter What Your Role Is as fast as you can. Backing up your DNS settings is one of the most overlooked but critical steps in protecting your online presence. DNS — Domain Name System — is essentially the blueprint of how your domain connects to websites, email servers, APIs, and other internet services. If your DNS configuration is lost or corrupted, everything tied to that domain can fail instantly. Emails stop delivering, websites go offline, APIs break, and third-party integrations can fail. The result is downtime that can last hours or even days if you don’t have an accurate backup. The risk isn’t limited to IT or sysadmins. Anyone who manages a domain — marketers, developers, small business owners, or executives — relies on DNS every day. H…  ( 9 min )

A few years ago, I thought software development was only for “tech geniuses” — people who had been coding since childhood or had degrees from top universities. I was wrong. Today, I’m building software solutions from scratch, and I’ve learned that the only real requirement to start is curiosity. 💡 Why I Started My journey began with a simple thought: “What if I could create something that people could actually use?” I’ve always been curious about how apps, websites, and tools work. At some point, curiosity turned into action — I decided to learn how to build them myself. I didn’t have a perfect roadmap, but I had the willingness to start. 🛠 My First Steps Learned the basics of programming logic — variables, loops, functions. Explored Android development, web development, and backend systems. Built my very first program that took user input and responded. That small project was the moment I realized: ⚡ Early Challenges ❌ Spent hours debugging tiny errors. ❌ Got stuck trying to move from tutorials to my own projects. ❌ Switching between mobile, web, and backend was overwhelming. But each bug fixed, each problem solved, made me stronger. 🏆 Small Wins That Kept Me Motivated ✅ My code running without errors for the first time. ✅ My first working Android app. ✅ My first backend API in Spring responding correctly. ✅ A personal project my friends actually used. These wins were my fuel. 🎯 Where I’m Heading Next Today, I’m focused on: Building more complex applications. Integrating APIs and working with databases. Experimenting with AI tools. Improving my system design skills. 💭 My dream? To become a well-rounded software developer capable of building solutions that make a real difference — and eventually, start my own tech startup. 💬 My Advice to Beginners If you’re thinking of starting your own software development journey: ⚡ Don’t wait for the “perfect moment” or “perfect skillset.” 📚 Start with what you know. 🔄 Keep learning. 🏆 Let each small win push you forward.  ( 6 min )

If you work with JWTs, OAuth, or any token-based authentication, you’ve probably seen the term JWKS. So — what is JWKS and why does it matter? In short: a JWKS (JSON Web Key Set) is a standardized JSON document that publishes one or more public keys (JWKs) so clients and APIs can verify signatures or perform encryption. This guide explains JWKS in plain language, shows the JWK format with examples, covers the jwks uri pattern, and gives practical tips for creating and managing JWKS in production. A JSON Web Key (JWK) is a JSON object that represents a cryptographic key — for example, an RSA public key or an EC key. Key fields include kty (key type), kid (key id), use (intended use), alg (algorithm), and key material fields like n/e for RSA or x/y for EC. A JWKS is simply a JSON object with…  ( 9 min )

Welcome to Day 28 of your system design learning journey! Today, we’re diving into GraphQL, a powerful query language for APIs, and exploring how it fits into system design. Whether you’re a beginner building your first API or a pro designing scalable systems, this guide will show you how GraphQL works, its benefits, and key system design considerations like scalability, performance, and architecture. With clear examples and diagrams, you’ll see why GraphQL is a go-to choice for modern, data-driven applications. What is GraphQL? Think of GraphQL as a buffet: instead of getting a fixed plate of data (REST), you pick exactly what you want. This reduces over-fetching (extra data) and under-fetching (needing multiple requests). Here’s a simple GraphQL query for a blogging app: query { user(i…  ( 8 min )

Over the past few months, we’ve been spending a lot of time with FastAPI, a relatively new Python framework that’s become the talk of the town.

After putting it to work on real projects, I get why people are hyped. Here’s why FastAPI is quietly becoming a favorite for developers everywhere. FastAPI isn’t your average Python web framework. It’s built on top of Starlette and uses Python’s async/await features, which means it can juggle a ton of requests like database calls, third-party APIs, you name it, without slowing to a crawl. In performance comparisions, it regularly outpaces Flask and Django, especially for apps that need heavy async…  ( 7 min )

If you've just switched to Go from PHP or Java, you've probably had this thought: Go's standard library is awesome and has everything, but when it's time to whip up a proper web app, it feels like you have to build everything from scratch. Routing, config, ORM... you're burnt out before the project even begins. Take it from someone who's been there: that's the wrong way to think. Seasoned Gophers have long learned to use the right tools for the job. Today, I'm opening up my go-to toolkit to share the 6 libraries that have become standard issue in almost every Go project. Buckle up! Let's roll. Gin: The De Facto Standard for Web Development Thinking of writing an API in Go? Don't even think about it—nine out of ten projects use Gin. Why? One word: fast.

​Read the original article：How to Improve Logging in ArkTS: A Better Alternative to hilog with LogManager? AI Generated Image Overcome hilog’s limitations in HarmonyOS by using a reusable LogManager class for better formatting, filtering, and chunking. When developing HarmonyOS applications with ArkTS, developers typically use the low-level hilog API for runtime logging. While functional, hilog lacks essential features for large-scale or production-grade applications. Its limitations—such as a 4096-byte message cap, lack of runtime log level control, and unstructured outputs—can quickly become obstacles. In this article, we’ll explore a robust solution: a reusable LogManager class that wraps hilog and addresses its shortcomings with structured output, dynamic filtering, and automatic chu…  ( 7 min )

The CodeBehind framework, developed by the Elanat team, represents a modern approach to web development under ASP.NET Core. It reintroduces the classic aspx extension while incorporating contemporary features like Razor syntax for view design. This allows developers to create dynamic, server-side rendered pages with a syntax that feels familiar to those experienced with ASP.NET Core's Razor Pages, but with enhancements tailored for performance and modularity. Unlike traditional frameworks, CodeBehind emphasizes a clear separation between server-side logic and HTML markup, enabling flexible development patterns such as MVC, Model-View, or even standalone views. In this article, we'll explore how to design views using Razor syntax in CodeBehind, drawing from its reference documentation and h…  ( 8 min )

In the rapidly evolving landscape of software architecture, Infrastructure vs Monoliths is one of the most critical decisions development teams face. Choosing between microservices infrastructure and monolithic architecture can significantly impact your application’s scalability, maintainability, deployment strategies, and overall development experience. Both architectural patterns have their strengths and weaknesses, and the right choice depends on various factors including team size, project complexity, scalability requirements, and organizational structure. Let’s dive deep into understanding these two approaches and when to use each one. A monolithic architecture represents a traditional approach where an entire application is built as a single, unified unit. All components, features, …  ( 6 min )

As developers, we love flow state. That magical stretch when the code just… flows. But here’s the problem: we’re terrible at respecting our own mental limits. We push past fatigue, drown in context-switching, and end the day wondering why we’re mentally fried. Over time, I found something that works better than any productivity app: 90 minutes of deep, focused work followed by a deliberate 20-minute break. Why 90 Minutes? Why the 20-Minute Break? Walk around the block Stretch or quick workout Make coffee and not check Slack Jot down any lingering ideas for my next session By the time I’m back, my mental buffer is cleared and my problem-solving is sharper. How to Make It Stick (Even in a Busy Team) Break discipline: Don’t cut the break short because you “feel fine.” That’s when you risk burnout later in the day. Batch distractions: Put all non-urgent messages, pull requests, and “quick questions” into break time. Why It Beats Pomodoro (for Devs) Ninety minutes gives you enough runway to dig into complex logic without breaking your mental thread. My Challenge to You Commit cleaner code Spend less time debugging End the day less mentally drained You might just find your best work isn’t about working more, but working smarter.

The software industry is evolving at a frantic pace; no wonder it is growing in terms of competition across the globe. This is the bright side; the dark side behind the scenes is due to this ever-increasing cut-throat competition. More and more companies are facing unexpected challenges regarding development and testing, especially in the context of in-house development. Thank god, we have outsourcing as an option. More or less, outsourcing software development services is no longer an option but a strategic decision to fasten development projects; all you need to seek around is an appropriate partner who has a knack for offering unmatchable services irrespective of your business niche.

Every woman experiences hormonal shifts as she ages, but understanding the difference between perimenopause vs menopause can make the journey easier. Both stages mark significant changes in reproductive health, but they are not the same. Knowing the early menopause signs and how perimenopause begins helps you prepare for the physical and emotional changes ahead. Perimenopause is the period leading up to menopause. It usually starts in the 40s, however some women may feel it younger. During this time, the ovaries slowly produce less estrogen, and the menstrual cycle becomes irregular. Perimenopause symptoms vary from woman to woman. They can include: Irregular or skipped periods. Hot flashes and night sweats Mood swings and irritability. Difficulty sleeping. Decreased fertility.

As a Product Owner (PO) or Business Analyst (BA), you've likely encountered situations where a client, stakeholder (or even yourself) presents a very general request, such as: "I want to create a chatbot agent." Typically, you would need to organize multiple meetings, ask a series of questions, and spend a lot of time clarifying the request before you can start writing the Software Requirements Specification (SRS) document. But now, with AI's help, you can streamline this process quickly and effectively. One of the most effective ways to leverage the power of AI is to use a specialized prompt designed specifically for software requirements elicitation and specification.

How to Expose Localhost to the Internet: A Developer's Guide As a software developer, you frequently build and test applications on your local machine. Your development server runs on localhost (or 127.0.0.1), a loopback address that makes the service accessible only from your own computer. This setup is perfect for the initial stages of development. However, the moment you need to share your work with the outside world, localhost is no longer sufficient. Whether you need to test webhooks from a third-party service, demonstrate a feature to a client, or test on a physical mobile device, you need a way to expose your localhost to the internet.

Ever built a search page with filters and pagination, only to realize users lose everything when they refresh? Or tried to share a filtered view with a colleague and sent them a useless base URL? I've been there. Too many times. After writing the same URLSearchParams boilerplate for the hundredth time, I decided to build something better: react-zod-url-state - a TypeScript-first library that automatically syncs your component state with URL parameters. Here's what we usually end up writing for a simple product filter: export function ProductFilters() { const searchParams = useSearchParams(); const router = useRouter(); const [q, setQ] = useState(''); const [page, setPage] = useState(1); const [sort, setSort] = useState('name'); const [inStock, setInStock] = useState(false); …  ( 7 min )

You’ve spent months polishing your app. The UI is clean, the state management is sound, and the user flow is logical. Then someone needs to upload a file. Suddenly, that generic, unstyled widget appears, looking like it was teleported from 2005. It breaks the entire experience and quietly signals to the user, “we gave up on this part.” The file uploader is a weird blind spot where even great apps just surrender to the default. It’s a small detail, but it’s a trust issue. Users are handing you their files. The moment of exchange shouldn’t feel janky. The good news is you can fix this, and you can do it with the tools you’re already using.

For over a decade, I've been building with Laravel. It's been my go-to framework for everything from simple APIs to complex SaaS platforms. But lately, I've felt like a kid with my face pressed against the candy store window, watching the Python developers have all the AI fun. Every time I wanted to build an AI agent, I'd have to context-switch to Python. LangChain, AutoGPT, CrewAI – they're all amazing, but they're not PHP. They're not Laravel. And that constant switching between ecosystems was killing my productivity. So I did what any reasonable developer would do after one too many late nights wrestling with Python virtual environments... I built my own AI agent framework for Laravel. 😅 Meet Vizra ADK – the AI Agent Development Kit that brings true agentic capabilities home to Laravel…  ( 10 min )

I've heard this argument quite a few times recently, especially in code related to prompt engineering, and sometimes the most trivial things can stir up quite a conversation between developers. You might see some code like this: const myFunc = async () => { try { if (condition) { const prompt = `Hello world This is some multiline text More text `; } } catch { // some stuff here } } Many developers think that's the right way to write a multiline string, as everything is indented according to the rest of the code. But there are two major issues with this approach. While at first glance the indentation might seem to make sense, when using a template literal (the string wrapped with backticks), you don't need to follow the re…  ( 6 min )

🛠️ The Spec-Driven Revolution Everything began with a folder: /.kiro. Inside it, I wrote YAML specs for quests, NPCs, and global events. No hardcoded logic. No brittle managers. Just clean, declarative design: - id: "neon_escape" startCondition: roomEntered: true endCondition: player.healthBelow: 0.2 actions: spawn: "gangAmbush" reward: type: "neonShard" amount: 5 Kiro parsed these specs and instantly generated: C# classes (QuestDefinition, EventTrigger) YAML ↔ runtime serializers Unity bindings that made everything playable on save I wired custom Kiro hooks to automate everything: Saving a spec regenerated the quest pipeline Creating an NPC archetype scaffolded AI behaviors and animation states Dropping a prefab rebuilt the spawn registry and loot tables Running a profiling hook injected performance throttles directly into the spec It felt like having a full-time systems engineer working behind the scenes — except it was all AI. I sketched my ideas in plain English: “Build a map generator that carves rooms, places doors, and sets neon lighting.” Kiro returned a complete C# class with: Breadth-first room expansion Adjacency checks Weighted loot tables Coroutine-driven lighting transitions It compiled and ran on the first try. I didn’t touch a single boilerplate line. Multiplayer sync via agent hooks A player-authored spec editor An open modding toolkit for infinite cyberpunk adventures Kiro didn’t just accelerate development — it changed how I think about building games. Specs are now my source of truth. AI is my co-creator. And iteration is instant. Let’s build smarter worlds — one YAML file at a time.  ( 6 min )

Optimization has been central to SuperOptiX from day one—whether it's prompts, weights, parameters, or compute. It began with DSPy-style programmatic prompt engineering and teleprompting as it was the only framework doing prompt optimization. It was surprising that other frameworks couldn't figure out ways to optimize prompts like DSPy, but now we have a solution. Today, we're bringing Optimas into the SuperOptiX ecosystem so you can apply globally aligned local rewards across multiple frameworks: OpenAI Agent SDK, CrewAI, AutoGen, and DSPy. You can check out the Optimas and SuperOptiX integration here. Optimizing a single prompt isn't enough for modern "compound" AI systems. Real systems chain LLMs, tools, and traditional ML into multi‑step workflows, and the right unit of optimization is…  ( 10 min )

Definition: OCP states: "Software entities (classes, modules, functions) should be open for extension but closed for modification." That means: Open for extension: You can add new behavior without touching the existing code. Closed for modification: You don't edit existing tested, stable code just to add new features. Why this matters: Prevents breaking existing features. Improves maintainability. Reduces regression bugs. How to achieve it: Interfaces / Abstract Classes — define a contract that new implementations follow. Polymorphism — lets you swap behaviors without changing the base code. Dependency Injection — avoids hardcoding dependencies. Example (Bad OCP): class ReportGenerator { public function generate($type) { if ($type === 'pdf') { // PDF generation …  ( 6 min )

Performance testing comes with its own set of challenges, ranging from test infrastructure issues and high test execution times to inconsistent test environments. Identifying and addressing these performance testing challenges is important to build more efficient, reliable and scalable software applications. Performance testing challenges vary by team, but QA needs to be ready for these common ones: Unrealistic test scenarios often lead to inaccurate results because they fail to replicate real-world conditions such as varying network environments, user traffic patterns, and peak system loads. This makes it difficult to assess software performance accurately. Similarly, inadequate test data can compromise performance testing results.

Demystifying async behavior so you can predict it, without memorizing diagrams. I was building a dashboard in Next.js. It just froze. Turns out, I had no clue I’ve met the event loop, just… indirectly. This guide strips the jargon and gives you a mental model you’ll actually use. Kitchen = Call Stack (where cooking happens) Waiter = Event Loop (decides what order to serve next) Two waiting lines: Fast line = Promises (.then(), async/await) → “urgent orders” Slow line = Timers (setTimeout, clicks, network) → “big meal orders” Before serving any big orders, the waiter must finish all "urgent orders" first. That’s why a Promise often runs before a setTimeout, even if the timeout is set to 0. setTimeout(0) still feels “late” console.log("Start"); setTimeout(() => console.log("Timeout"), …  ( 7 min )

I asked GPT-5 to draft tokenomics for an ERC-20: a billion max supply, a small burn fee on transfers, pausable transfers, and owner-only minting. It produced a clean-looking contract in seconds. I didn’t ship it. Max supply: 1,000,000,000 tokens Fee: 2% burned on each transfer Minting: owner-only, capped by max supply Pausable: owner can pause/unpause transfers On paper, perfect. In tests, not so much. Pause wasn’t enforced on transfers: The contract imported pausing logic but never actually blocked transfers when paused. Burn fee also hit initial distributions: Owner distributing tokens to the community lost 2% every time. Usually you want fees only on user-to-user transfers.

Serverless doesn’t mean there’s no server - it means you don’t manage the server or the infrastructure. It’s a runtime (e.g., Node.js) spun up and torn down on demand. On Vercel’s hobby plan you get ~10s for a request/response cycle, up to 300s on Pro, and 800s on Fluid. Moral of the story: if you’re doing something serverless, do it fast. Or break it up into smaller functions (FaaS: Function as a Service), which is exactly how, many modern APIs work. One handy mantra: You pay for execution, not uptime. Treat endpoints like quick, efficient functions and you’ll be fine, especially on Vercel (we’ve heard horror stories of surprise bills).

The ongoing clash between Perplexity and Cloudflare highlights key challenges in AI access to web content. At its core, this involves accusations of ignoring site restrictions and the broader effects on creators. Cloudflare claimed Perplexity accessed blocked sites by masking its bots and bypassing robots.txt files, rules meant to control web crawling. Perplexity responded that its method serves user queries in real time, not traditional scraping, raising questions about current standards. This issue affects website owners by potentially reducing traffic as AI tools provide answers directly. For instance, if AI summaries replace site visits, creators might lose revenue from ads and sales. Key points include: Gaining control over which AI agents can use content Ensuring proper credit and links back to original sources Exploring ways to charge for AI access Robots.txt has long guided web crawlers, but AI complicates this. AI might fetch content on demand, leading to debates about fair use and compensation. Drawbacks involve risks like reduced visibility if blocks are too strict, while benefits offer better content management. To safeguard sites, consider these actions: Update robots.txt to block specific AI agents Implement bot management tools and monitor traffic Add attribution signals and explore licensing options Aspect Traditional Search AI Assistants Traffic High referrals Few referrals Rules Followed Strong adherence to robots.txt Varies by provider Value Links and snippets Summaries with little traffic This debate points to a shift where sites might require explicit consent for AI use, including paid models. Creators can turn this into opportunity by tightening defenses and seeking partnerships. 'Read More on Perplexity vs Cloudflare AI Scraping'  ( 6 min )

Hey DEV community, I'm excited to share that my open-source Android project, PennyWise, recently crossed 80+ stars on GitHub and has over 100 active beta testers. As a solo developer on a side project, this has been an incredible journey, and I wanted to share a bit about the "why" and the "how." PennyWise is a privacy-first expense tracker that automatically logs transactions by reading bank SMS. The key feature? Everything, including an AI assistant, runs 100% on the device. No cloud servers, no data collection, no API fees. 100% Kotlin & Jetpack Compose: Built with a modern Android stack for a reactive UI. On-Device AI with MediaPipe: I wanted to avoid cloud LLMs entirely. I used Google's MediaPipe with a Gemma 2B model to build an AI assistant that can answer questions about a user's spending without their data ever leaving their phone. This was a huge challenge but core to the privacy promise. Room Database: For local, structured storage of all financial data. Regex-based SMS Parsing: A robust system to handle dozens of different bank SMS formats in India. Building something with a strong privacy-first stance seems to have resonated with users. The on-device AI is not just a gimmick; it's a statement against the trend of sending every little piece of data to the cloud. If you're interested in modern Android development, on-device ML, or just want to see a project that's gaining some real-world traction, I'd love for you to check it out. GitHub Repo: https://github.com/sarim2000/pennywiseai-tracker Happy to dive into any technical questions or discuss the challenges of on-device AI in the comments!  ( 6 min )

Last week, I described several approaches to OpenTelemetry on the JVM, their requirements, and their different results. This week, I want to highlight several gotchas found across stacks in the zero-code instrumentation. Since its inception, OpenTelemetry has unified the 3 pillars of observability. In the distributed tracing space, it replaced proprietary protocols Zipkin and Jaeger. IMHO, it achieved such success for several reasons: First, a huge industry pressure to work across proprietary tools Zero-code instrumentation, allowing developers to be unconcerned by OpenTelemetry Easy and unified configuration mechanism via environment variables. The latter is a boon for the Ops team, as they don't have to know the underlying framework (or stack!) details. They only need to check the Envir…  ( 7 min )

Web browsers strictly enforce the same-origin policy, meaning data stored via localStorage or sessionStorage on one domain (or subdomain) isn’t directly accessible on another. This is a great security feature, but it makes sharing user state (like preferences, shopping carts, or session tokens) across domains very difficult. Developers have long tried various workarounds, but they tend to be brittle or insecure: Hidden iframes + postMessage: Embed an invisible iframe pointed at one domain, and use window.postMessage to send data between domains. This can work in controlled cases, but it’s complex and error-prone (you must carefully check message.origin, maintain special pages, and coordinate loading events). Even one tutorial author notes that this approach only works for a narrow set of u…  ( 10 min )

We've all witnessed the explosion of interest in general-purpose AI chatbots. They promise to answer any question, draft any email, and even write code snippets. While impressive, their broad capabilities often come at the cost of depth and contextual understanding. In the real world, particularly within complex industries, the need is for something far more targeted: specialized, autonomous AI agents. Think of a "Financial Compliance Agent" that can automatically audit expense reports against regulatory requirements, or an "Automated Report Generator" deeply integrated with your business intelligence platform. These aren't just chatbots with specific prompts; they are complex systems designed from the ground up to perform specific tasks with a high degree of autonomy and expertise. The nu…  ( 11 min )

SQL databases provide multiple date types, but developers often misuse them or underestimate timezone complexities. This guide covers key types and best practices to keep your date logic clean and reliable. DATE: 'YYYY-MM-DD' DATETIME: Date and time without timezone. TIMESTAMP: Stored in UTC, auto-converts on retrieval. TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE: Prevents timezone-related issues. DATETIMEOFFSET: Best for timezone-aware data. TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE: Handles user session timezone transparently. Always store timestamps in UTC. Prefer timezone-aware types for global apps. Index date columns to speed up range queries. Validate date inputs at the database level. Use native types, not strings, for all date storage. MySQL: DATE(datetime_column) SQL Server: CAST(datetime_column AS DATE) SELECT CURRENT_DATE; SELECT * FROM logs WHERE created_at BETWEEN '2025-01-01' AND '2025-06-30'; MySQL: DATE_FORMAT() PostgreSQL: TO_CHAR() SQL date types can seem simple, but careful choices make your apps more robust and timezone-safe. Mastering these fundamentals prepares you for more complex use cases like interval arithmetic and timezone conversions. Explore the full SQL Date Data Types guide for deeper insights.  ( 20 min )

Why the most important feature in cloud cost automation isn't the automation itself - it's the ability to break it when you need to. It's 5:55 PM on a Tuesday. Your staging database is scheduled to shut down at 6:00 PM exactly as it should, every single day. But today is different. You're five minutes away from cracking that performance bug, and shutting down now means losing three hours of progress. What do you do? Most cloud automation tools give you two terrible options: Edit the entire recurring schedule (and pray you remember to change it back) Let it shut down and manually restart it (breaking your flow) Both options suck. Both create risk. Both make you question whether automation is worth the headache. This is exactly why we built a Schedule Override for ZopNight. Here's the …  ( 7 min )

Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone else has run into the chaos of too many SaaS tools popping up across teams? We’ve been in the same boat – people signing up for apps left, right and centre, and it’s a nightmare keeping track of what’s actually being used. We ended up trying a platform that gives a full overview of all the SaaS in use, both approved and shadow IT. It’s been handy for spotting rogue apps, tracking costs, and putting some governance in place without just telling people “no”. What’s clever is how it nudges users instead of blocking them outright – little reminders to turn on MFA or close dormant accounts, that sort of thing. We’ve also automated some access stuff for leavers, which has cut down on risk. Results so far: fewer rogue apps, better cost visibility, and a bit more peace of mind on security. Would love to hear if anyone else has tackled this in a similar way – or if you’ve got tips on keeping SaaS under control without turning into the office police! Cheers.  ( 5 min )

My production server crashed at 3:47 AM on a Tuesday, and for the first time in my career, I didn't immediately start digging through logs. Instead, I did something that would have horrified my younger self: I asked an AI to guess what was wrong before I had any clue myself. Not to fix it for me, but to generate hypotheses about what might be happening based on the symptoms I could observe. That decision cut my debugging time from four hours to thirty-seven minutes. But more importantly, it taught me something fundamental about how expert-level debugging actually works — and why the conventional wisdom about "learning to debug properly" might be holding developers back. Here's the debugging mindset shift that changed how I approach every technical problem. Every computer science program te…  ( 10 min )

Background When monitoring the running status of the system and troubleshooting complex issues, logs have long served as an indispensable observability method. Scientific local log management strategies not only retain more complete historical records locally and minimize performance overhead but also facilitate log collection and subsequent analysis. However, in actual O&M, we often encounter counterexamples. The collection problems caused by such management defects cannot be perfectly solved by mainstream collection tools such as LoongCollector (formerly iLogtail), Filebeat, FluentBit, Vector, and OpenTelemetry Collector. The best practice is to solve the root cause. Here we summarize our experience, hoping to provide some inspiration and collectively enhance log utility for all. The p…  ( 9 min )

Have you ever wished you could pick up a phone and speak to your younger self? What would you say? My Story When I was a kid, I experienced extreme bullying.

Hi everyone, My kid is just getting the hang of basic arithmetic, and I wanted to find a fun way for them to practice that wasn't just boring flashcards. I looked around for some apps and games, but found most of them were cluttered with ads, complex menus, or distracting animations. I really just wanted something super simple that focused on the math. So, I decided to build one myself. Here's what I came up with: Preview The idea is basically a simplified "24 Game." It gives you a few numbers and a target, and you have to use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to hit the target number. I intentionally kept the design as clean and minimal as possible to help with focus. It's just a little logic puzzle to get them thinking about how numbers work together, and my kid has been having a blast with it. Since it was useful in our house, I figured it might be helpful for other parents, tutors, or teachers in this community too. I would love to get your feedback! Do you think this is a useful format for learning? Is there any simple feature you think could make it better? All thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!  ( 5 min )

Web go from static site to server side render(SSR) to client side render(CSR). Today, sound like we back to SSR. I point some different things in this post. Before go further, I will explain a little of bit about SSR & SCR. SSR is bring web to a dynamic world, we can render a site with dynamic content & more useful things. PHP is a famous web development language using SSR. In the first time, web server with SSR is always render full HTML and work with pure HTTP. Now, SSR…  ( 7 min )

TL;DR Continuous Access Evaluation Protocol (CAEP) extends the OpenID framework to enable real-time, context-driven access decisions. This post explains how developers can integrate CAEP into their existing identity infrastructure, including: Implementation patterns Event handling mechanisms Security considerations A full JWT event payload example for testing Most developers are familiar with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect as standards for authentication and authorization. The limitation? Once a token is issued, access remains valid until expiry — even if conditions change. In today’s environment, device state, user behavior, and threat intelligence can change instantly. Static token lifetimes are a security risk. CAEP (Continuous Access Evaluation Protocol), part of the OpenID Founda…  ( 7 min )

Table of contents Recursive sum The solution More spice As you'll agree, computing the sum of an array of numbers is no difficult feat. Just iterate over the array, add each element to an aggregate variable (often named as total or sum), and then return the aggregate in the end. Super super simple, right? But there is some spice that could be sprinkled to this basic task which can make it worthy of being asked in an interview setting. Did I mention that such a question has been asked in a JavaScript interview as stated by a candidate on Glassdoor. Anyways, let's open up the spice cabinet... And the spice is recursion.

Some days, it feels like the tech world is racing ahead without blinking. New models, new benchmarks, new demos. The narrative is loud: automation is here, and your job is next. But quietly beneath the launch headlines and YouTube walkthroughs, another story is playing out. It’s the story of builders, teams, and creatives who aren’t being replaced. They’re being multiplied. Supported. Accelerated. Not by magic. By thoughtful integration of the tools already in front of us. Take GPT-5, for example. It’s faster, cheaper, and stronger at code. But for all its upgrades, it still struggles with longform reasoning. It still fumbles creative writing. It still misses the mark on AGI-level tests. And that’s actually… grounding.  ( 5 min )

Your current software delivery processes are probably working fine. They build your code, maybe run a test or two, and get your software to production. That's no small achievement, but here's a question that might make you pause. When did someone last spend time improving them?

They typically start with a template from their cloud provider, delivery tooling vendor, or, these days, their favorite AI LLM. Initi…  ( 9 min )
